Teams claiming that sidepods do not make a difference to F1 car performance are like 'Pinocchio', according to McLaren's Stella.
But while there has been an obvious change of path for teams, many of them have played down the significance of what they have done, insisting that sidepod shape does not make a critical difference in the overall performance of a car.
"If there's any team that says that the bodywork and the sidepods don't have an effect in the current regulations, there's this long nose, Pinocchio-style," said Stella, in reference to the fictional wooden puppet whose nose grew every time he told a lie. "Now it looks like all teams are kind of converging towards the same direction, and I think this process may continue more and more in the future."
